Why we fit dry fix instead of mortar
Traditionally, ridge tiles and the edges of the roof (the verges) were bedded in sand and cement. Over the years that mortar cracks, shrinks and falls out, and the tiles work loose. In high winds, loose ridge tiles can blow off completely.
A dry ridge system fixes every ridge tile mechanically with screws and clips. Dry verge caps clip over the edge of the roof. Neither relies on mortar, so neither needs repointing. They're also what building regulations now expect on new work.

Common questions
Is dry ridge better than mortar?
For most roofs, yes. It doesn't crack or wash out, it holds the tiles mechanically so they can't blow off, and it needs no maintenance. We fit it as standard on every re-roof.
Can you fit dry ridge without re-roofing?
Yes. We lift the old ridge tiles, clean them, fit the dry ridge system and re-fix the same tiles, or new ones if yours are damaged.
My new-build's verge caps keep blowing off. Can you fix it?
Yes, this is common. It usually comes down to how they were fixed. We'll replace or re-fix them so they stay put.
